Got the brown CTS XHP Native on me today. For some reason this knife appeals to me alot more with the spear point/ swedge on the hollow ground version vs. the full flat of the native 5 or forum native.
I am usually a full flat guy, but this configuration of the native just looks and feels better to me. I tried out the native for the first time with the forum native and could not come to terms with the patterned G-10 or the blade shape with the ffg. For some reason I felt the knife looked a little goofy without the swedge grind. So far I am really liking the frn version though, looking forward to giving the XHP a run.
(yesterday) It's the MT17 Bohler K390 w/ranger green Halpern scales (only mule I've got) grabshot near dark, forgot to flip blade to show name.
K-390 on hand: Mule Team 17, Police 4 G-10, Endela (burlap micarta), Endela backup, Endura (canvas micarta), Straight Stretch (now blade-swapped with G-10 Stretch), Delica Wharncliffe, Dragonfly Wharncliffe, & Dragonfly Wharncliffe shorty mod Note to self: Less is more.
PM2(Camo/Satin) Military (Safety Orange, Camo), Endura (Wave, ZDP-189, Super Blue), Gayle Bradley, Techno, Pacific Salt PE, Tasman Salt SE, Harpy, Manbug ZDP-189, Dragonfly Aus 8, Ladybug (Red with CE...1990ish), Cricket SE, Civilian.
Very, nice shots, senor; the Cru Ti is a great idea, though I've learned to love the gray G-10 as well. Don't envy you the ice storm though -- we've been watching it on TV. Lucky for us, it's not making it down here.
